Q: 	How do I get a Blue Royale Medical Insurance Plan?
A: 	 Contact our Medical Sales office at (632) 899-8001 or e-mail us at medical_sales@bluecross.com.ph. Our
Account Executives will be more than happy to answer your questions or give you a free presentation in person.
Q: 	How do I pay my Blue Royale Premium?
A: 	Blue Cross offers you several convenient ways to pay your premium: You can pay in cash or credit, via bank
Bills Payment Facilities, either annually or semi-annually.
Q: 	Do I need to undergo a physical examination before I can get a Blue Cross Insurance plan?
A: 	No, applicants normally do not need to undergo a physical exam. All you have to do is answer the application
form and medical questionnaire as truthfully as possible. Failure to answer the questions in the declaration in
full, concealment, or misrepresentation of any significant condition will affect your Policy and the payment of
your claims.
Q: 	What is a pre-existing condition?
A: 	 A pre-existing condition is a disability or illness which existed before the commencement of cover. The existence
of a pre-existing condition can be clinically determined given its natural history, irrespective of whether or not the
insured is aware of the illness or condition. Providing cover for a pre-existing condition is subject to evaluation
by our Medical Director, and if it is excluded from cover we will notify the insured accordingly.
Q: How soon can I avail of my Blue Royale Benefits?
A:	 You can avail of your Blue Royale Benefits thirty (30) days after the date shown on your Policy. However, you
already have immediate coverage for accidental injury.
Q: How can Blue Royale take care of me when I am abroad?
A: 	In the event that you are hospitalized while abroad, our worldwide emergency assistance partner will be there
to help you. Blue Cross includes coverage for a maximum of 90 days abroad per trip. Coverage is extended
beyond 90 days provided the reason for going abroad is not to seek medical treatment.  The extension of stay
overseas must also be due to an emergency illness or condition (leading to confinement) that arose on or before
your 90th
day abroad, for which the continued hospitalization will require you to stay abroad beyond 90 days.
Q: What does “90 day per trip coverage” mean?
A: 	This means that you can travel an unlimited number of trips outside the Philippines with insurance coverage
provided that each trip does not exceed ninety (90) days. Premium may change for overseas stay of more than
90 days.
